Examinations - has it killed education

Yes, I do think. From my view education clearly, means learning new things and having knowledge not mugging up due to the pressure of examination for getting good marks. I would like to elaborate by giving an example parents are pressurising their children to have good academic performance and because of that child are not learning they are mugging up.

Our education system gives more focus on theory rather than practical knowledge but if you say examination kills education than its wrong because the exam is a thing by which you come to know that where you are among others but yes it is a little bit wrong when you are judged by your theory results.

Education and Examinations should a base more on practical knowledge or real world knowledge rather than only focus on books. To make students practically involved in studies.

No, I don't thing examinations have killed the education. The examination is the way to evaluate ourself. Through only score cards we realise where we actually stand. Although at the time of placements only score cards don't matter, we should have knowledge in every field and should be good at aptitude, reasoning, vocabulary, general knowledge, current affairs and obviously practical knowledge of our field and we should be evaluated on this basis before placements but to evaluate us, the organisation have to conduct exam for that, so that they can sort the cream from the bulk of candidates. Thus, examinations haven't killed education. The examination is the key to evaluating ourself.

Examination is only the measure to test our progress in our domain in which we are training. That training can be any thing like sports, studies or even art. The Examination doesn't need to be only the written test or a pen and paper test, like the image of examination is formed. Even the sports meet, art competition and other tournaments are also just the other forms of examination. So examination has not killed the education but only refined it.

What is examination? It is a poison that is being stored in the student's mind. Marks have become the most important thing in one's life. So a student has left behind his own co-curricular activities. To my point of view, examination have changed the mind of the students. If a student does not get 80-90% marks then his whole life is changed and he idea of doing others profession in life is destroyed. So examination is not the only thing to justify a student he also has another extra talent.

Hello friends,

Our present education system is merely based on rote memory. The students who topped In examination do not know how to use the knowledge practically in life there is only a race between the students to get good marks in paper from early stage of life. Examination is a way to check students knowledge not just rote sentences, unfortunately this is what is happening in examinations.

Good Afternoon everyone,

My name is Laxmipriya Moharana. Thank you for giving me a chance to discuss this topic. In my opinion, it has both pros and cons of education.

We are taking the exam. From the exam two kinds of student gets merits. Those students want to be in this line by studying. And those students do not want to go by studying the topic. Those students don't want to study and they want to go another line. By taking the exam they get one benefit improving memorization skills. And how to take the exam by studying in less time. It improved smart work. When our parents tell us we have to secure that much mark. At that time the child should think that they are telling secure the knowledge and measure their knowledge by giving the test. Nowadays you have to keep a little bit of knowledge about every field.

Cons:
Exam kills the student because whenever an exam comes they panic. Because they are not interested in that topic. And they want to secure the mark. Another thing is that parents should be aware of what their child wants to do in the future. Pressure learns. How to manage your time?

Thank you.

Here are many exams annually like daily, weekly and monthly tests. So, students barely have any time for extra curricular activities.

In present generation schools and colleges unnecessarily pressuring everyone including kids to get above 90%.

Most of the private colleges are not conducting practicals, they are just focusing on theoretical subjects to make their students toppers so that their college can become famous. By this students are not knowing the applicability of subjects.

I hate exams because they spoiled my days and night, I don't know what to do with these horrible exams, they are disgusting. I am not at all satisfied with the examination system it puts a lot of pressure on us we can't even sleep properly and have dark circles around our eyes and I think it's really bad.

HELLO EVERYONE,

I am in fewer of the examination system.

As some of my friends have discussed the negative aspects of exams, I don't completely deny this thing but I would like to highlight some points which show the importance of examinations.

The situation about which many of the guys are talking is the ideal one according to which each and every student is fond of studies and curious about learning new things. But if see the reality then we can understand that around 80-85% of the students of todays generation do not study before exams, now if we think about them then it seems that they would not study anything if exams will not be there and what will be their future then.

So we can say that exams are the most important tool that helps in maintaining an appropriate level of knowledge among the students.

At last, I would like to say that examinations also includes practicals, viva voice, and other internal assessments in order to the practical knowledge of the students.

Thanks!
